One of the key highlights of the 2013 model year Cadillac SRX is the addition of the firm’s new CUE infotainment system incorporating touch-screen controls, but it isn’t the only new feature to be offered on the subtly updated crossover.

Cadillac has also presented a new rear-seat entertainment package that works together with the CUE system and which is available as an option on Luxury (with navigation,) Performance and Premium SRX trim grades for $1,595.

According to the automaker, the package extends the CUE system for connectivity to the rear seats allowing passengers to manage their own music players and playlists while also adding a redesigned gaming-style remote control that allows each of the 8-inch flip-up rear screens to play unique media.

“Having multiple media connectivity options really gives owners flexibility with entertainment, especially families,” commented Charlene Goike, Cadillac’s rear-seat entertainment lead engineer. “One can easily pop in their camera’s SD cards on the way home from their kid’s sports games to let the young ones instantly relive the action.”

A video that demonstrates the rear entertainment package follows right past the break.
